A rather unusual Parker Classic fountain pen.  This item is in excellent condition with no damage noted.  It is in the Flighter Deluxe finish - all brushed steel barel and cap with gold plated trimmings. The cap has an elongated gold plated top button with an inset metal disc at the top.  It has the usual Classic style gold plated pocket clip, and around the cap lip is the imprint which reads "PARKER", "MADE IN UK" and "iic".  The barrel end also has the inset disc and flares out nicely in order to provide a good stable posting point for the cap.  The black finger grip has a checkerboard texture with a steel band forward and the little triangular gold plated steel nib which is in a medium point.  You can unscrew the barrel to fit either a standard Parker ink cartridge or a standard Parker ink converter (not included).  The original Parker box is a typical early 1990s grey plastic base with the clear plastic lid.  It, too, is in very nice condition.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib writes very well with a good, wet and consistent medium width line.
